Frank didn’t notice the Frank & Friends Show iPhone case in the selfie that Kathryn recently posted on her Facebook and Instagram accounts.
Knoxville got less snow than surrounding areas due to the “horseshoe effect.” Kathryn likes to watch WeatherNation because they play weather all day long. Frank hates snow and ice because he broke his arm on the ice when he was 13 and crashed his car on the ice when he was 23.
Frank didn’t drive downtown to Kathryn’s board meeting and joined via Zoom instead. He likes being able to do his LakeFM radio show from his house rather than drive through the snow to the studio. Kathryn likes playing in the snow with her dog Sasha.
Frank used to emcee the Knox Asian Festival when he worked for the radio sponsor of the festival. This year, he was asked to emcee a Japanese New Year Celebration. In Japan, New Year’s Day is a bigger deal than Christmas. Frank drew the Japanese character for wealth at the calligraphy booth.
Frank once organized a Chinese New Year celebration on KROQ. They broadcast the morning show from the Panda Inn in Pasadena and had a live performance by Tori Amos.
Frank only knows a few words in Japanese. Many people know that thank you is “domo arigato.” You’re welcome is “dou itashimashite.” As he was being introduced to some Japanese speakers, the only words he could pick out were “Frank-san.”
Frank enjoyed a mochi cake at the Japanese New Year celebration. Kathryn bought a frozen mochi treat similar to ice cream in New York.
